Great news for the hobby! Found this ad over in CP:

We have been discussing this in the Pics of a Just Dashes thread, and thought we should start another thread to spread the word.

Anyway, I emailed Glenn about getting some pics and just what he is doing to reproduce these dashes, and here is a copy of his reply to me:

Pat,

The 1970-72 GTO/Lemans dash pads should be ready in a few weeks, the mold, madrid grain vinyl and polyurethane foam are being tested, everything needs to be "dialed in".

At this time we will be re-molding your original dash cores, they are stripped to the metal and straightened, then they are remanufactured with the new vinyl and foam.

I am also producing a radio repair patch so that all of the cut-up dash cores can also be used, so if your dash is damaged do not throw it away.

We will have about 40 cores in stock and are continuously buying more cores, so we can sell them on an exchange basis, no waiting for 8 weeks like other dash companies. Guaranteed to be the best dash available at any price.

Photos will be available soon.

For 1972 You will need to save your original PONTIAC emblem and install it on your new dashpad.

Muscle Car Depot specializes in GTO, we are committed to providing the best quality and price for many GTO parts.

Thanks for your interest in our product.

If you have any dash pad cores available we would be interested in purchasing them.

A few of us were wondering the other day what happened to this project.

Anyone hear of any updates?

I sent an e-mail asking if these were available. I will post when I get a return.

Just what I will need for mine. I was thinking about just putting one of those $100 skins on mine since there are only two cracks on the top center part of the dash and also because of the inexpensive price. But, with doing a frame off restoration, it would be best to install one of these especially if it will last many years or "forever" Let us know what you find out.

Sent a e-mail about the dsah pads, but still have go no response. I will keep trying, I need one but don't feel like spending 1000.00 at this point.

I sent an email last week with no reply or even a call to the enclosed number. You'd think they would want to make money, apparently that isn't a priority.

[BOB VIDAN]

He's the same guy doing the 69 metal tail light bezels that nobody has received yet. I do believe they will but he can not control what happens offshore.

Well at this point,If he's taking this long to even answer anyones email.,You could only imagine how long the dash pad will take????Bad communication"s the worst!Or in this case NO Communication!Keep us posted guys!I would like to know .I'm interested as well!

Has anyone received a dash pad from this co. yet? It'd be nice to see someone on the East coast start this service.

[70KGOLD]

Are the pads available yet?

[69 RA GTO]

anyone heard anything on these yet??

[PB]

My guess is these are not being reproduced by now. At least there is Just dashes!

Guys, this company is not someone with whom I would do business with. Their site says it's still under construction, and the phone number has been blanked to show nothing but zeros.

I called and left a message and emailed them in Feb., and am still waiting for a reply.

I think promising dash pads in July '08 was someone's pipe dream, I wish I was wrong.

Another poser.

I emailed as well, with no response.
